1st. Let the Republican members
Of Congress for the mountain dis
tricts, where there Is great com
munity of interests, Invite a con
ference Tor mass meeting) of Re
pnblicans to meet at StauntOn, to
consider the situation and agree
upon some declaration TO be sub
mitted to the several county con-
ventions, and to which, if adopted
by them, the legislative candidates
should stand pledged.
The ideal platform is short
enough for majority to stand up
on. Something like this;
RcsoIrcd.-That the nominee of
this convention stand pledged, if
elected.
1st. To use his position to secure
a recognition by the United States
of the claims of Virginia, or an
allowance against so much of her
public debt as rested on the terri
tory and subjects removed from
the lieu Of her bonds; to the end
that the proceeds may be avalled
of in securing an honorable adj
iustment of our public debt.
.. TO vote for the establishment
of one hundred academies-one
for each county to be sustained by
the free school fund.
3D.. To vote for the establishment
of school Of mines, and a
thorough geological survey Of the
State.
ith. To vote for an indirect sys-
TEN of taxation to the end that the
present wasteful and corrupt sys-
TEN may be dispensed with.
9TH. 70 vote for an election law
so guarded that a false count shall
be impossible.
9Th. To vote for no man fol
United States senator who is not in
favor of protection to our home
industries.
With such declaration there
will be- no dlmness IN the lines OF
discussion-and no dishonOr in de-
feat. The horizon Of debate would
be broadened and the spirit oil
fair play, which does characterize
our people, would assert itself. In
the dignity of such debate there
would be an elevation of public
sentiment, and we might see the
beginning OF the restoration of that
ancient and better order when
Wings and Democrats met in falr
discussion, and other States listen
ed TO the argument, and waited for
the leadership OF Virginia.
At a critical moment the vassa-
lagc Of nation was broken ; and
1t awokc to new prosperity when a
citizen happily said, "There is one
richer than RothschIld-the French
people"
I'm this country we cannot be too
often reminded that the Judgment
of the common people is the highest
authority; aud that responsibility
should originate and remain where
power is-the majority.

would, in tho present condition of
the region where it occurred, cause
greater destruction than did that
which recently occurred at Charles
ton, 5. G..
These two series of shocks, that
of 1871 and 1886, have a close
general relation to each other; so
alike are they, indeed, as TO suggest
that the great series of repeated
shocks, gradually diminishing in in
tensity, may be the type of dis
turbance characteristic of the low
land districts of the southern part
of this Continent. The New Mad
rid earthquake of 1911 was, how
ever, by far the more extended
phenomenon the shocks were more
frequent and of much greater vio-
lcnce, and the period during which
they required was far longer than
in the Carolinian disturbances. -

BY RAIL TO The 0xuS.

The poets of Asia have sung for
centuries of the beauty and fruitful
ness of the Zarafchan valley. The
fact that the environs of Samarcand,
Bokhara, and Khiva are among the
most fertile in the world has count
ed for little in their development,
for almost painless deserts separate
them from the lands that would
gladly buy their produce. Steam
cars, however, have come at last to
supersede the costly camel caravans
that, since the Car overpowered
the Khanates, have often been sent
to the Russian frontier.
When it was announced a few
weeks ago that the Trans Caspin
Railroad had reached the Amu-Da-
ria at Chardjui, the telegraph from
Khiva and Bokhara at once reported
that number Of caravans were
loading with silks, leather, furs,
carpets and wool, which they would
take to Chardjui ell route for
Europe. Mr.. LansdeIl told us two
years ago that Central Asian cotton
was of fine quality, and could be
raised in enormous quantities. 1t
now appears that as soon as it was
positively known that the railroad
would be advanced to the ANU
Daria, the planting of cotton in
Bokhara was very sensibly augment
ed. Thus the pulse-beats of west
ern commerce are beginning to be
felt in the remOter regions Of the
Mohammedan world; revivifying
countries long dormant that in the
age of Alexander the Great were the
seat of an advanced and powerful
civilization.
The ruins still exist of those
great canals that centuries ago led
the waters of the Murghab through
out the Merv oasis, fertilizing the
soil and fitting it to be the abiding
place of large and furnishing po-
pulation. Since the railroad reach
ed Merv the Turkomans there have
begun the work of cleaning out and
restoring these old works of irriga-
ton, and the day is rapidly coming
when ancient Merv will lose the sad
and arid aspect that now predomi-
mates in all its borders. The rail-
road that Gen. Annenkoff pushed
forward through pillows of sand and

THE EARTHQUAKES OF 1911 AND 1885.

The shocks of 1S11-l3 are, by
their violence and continuity, to be
ranked among the first score of re-
corded earthquakes. Save, perhaps,
that which in 1919 disturbed the
delta Of the Indus, in Western
Hindostan, the Mississippi earth
quake of 1911 directly produced
more extensive and permanent local
geographical changes than any
other of which we have an account.
SO violent and continuous were the
shallings that the alluvial land in
the neighborhood of New Madrid
was lowered below its previous level,
and into the depressed region the
stream of the Mississippi poured in
such violence that for time its
lower waters, for q considerable
part OF their course, turned back
ward toward their source. Although
the colonizing of the district had
just begun, the area of country
already cleared by settlers which
was converted into morasses by the
shock was so great that the Govern
ment was compelled to furnish some
hundreds of thousands acres of new
lands on higher ground to those
whose dwelling-places had been
made uninhabitable. 1t seems likely
that an area of not less than five
thousand square miles was, on the
average, though irregularly, low
cred to the depth of ten feet below
its original level. The energy of
these shocks was SO great that the
low, strongly-built cabins of the
frOntiermen were wrecked, the for
est trees were beaten against each
other, and their branches inter-
locked as they swung to and fro.
The irregular movements of the
ground led to the formation of
numerous great crevices, from
which turbid waters were thrown
up to considerable height. To
protect themselves from being en-
quilted in these assures, the people
felled trees so that they lay on the
ground at right angles to the gen
eral trend of the assures, and built
places of refuge on the broad foun-
dations which they thus secured.
There can be no question that a
disturbance Of this magnitude

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
THE AMERICAN BISHOPS TAKE FAVOR
ABLE VIEWS OF THE ORGAN
IZATION.

Rome, March 1.-The correspond
ent of the Associated Press is
authorized to state that the Ameri-
can Bishops have taken favorable
views of the organization known in
the United States as the knights of
Labor. Cardinal Gibbons has placed
before the Vatican q formal state
ment as to the nature of the organ
ization and the attitude which the
Church should adopt toward it. The
Cardinal says in this that he con-
siders any condemnation of the
Knights to be not only useless but
highly inopportune, and might alien
ate the sympathy of the American
laboring classes from the Church
and hamper the mission of the
Church to the laboring poor. In
addition to the above position re-
commended by the statement of
Cardinal Gibbons, the Primate
treats the alarmists' theories re-
specting the Knights of Labor rs
puerile, and he says that nearly one
third of the men belonging to the
organization are Roman Catholics.
Respecting the charge that the asso-
citation is secret order, the Cardi-
nal says it is not a secret society in
the sense condemned by the Church,
and consequently is exempt from
canonical censure. In Canada the
case is different. Cardinal Gibbons
further says that he considers the
organization Of the Knights of Labor
in the United States not only harm
less, but possibly beneficial in assist
ing in the eventual settlement of the
great question of the proper rela-
tions between labor and capital.
EFFECT OF THE OPINION.
New York, March 2.-The Her.
AID has interviewed a number of
workingmen and labor agitators on
Cardinal Gibbons friendly report on
the Knights of Labor. The general
impression seemed to be that the
order would be greatly strengthen
ed by the stand the Cardinal had
taken, and that although thousands
Of Catholics belonged to the order
already, thousands more would join
it who have up to the present been
somewhat apprehensive that if they
became members they would bring
themselves under the ban of the
church against secret societies.
Henry George says: 81 don't think
it will have much effect?'
New York, March 3.-The Her.
aid says: Among the clergy of
various denominations in this city,
that Cardinal Gibbons in laying be-
fore the Vatican q favorable state
ment regarding the Knights of La
Dor organization in the United
States has excited great deal Of
interest. Nearly everyone of some
twenty-five or thirty clergmen who
were spoken with yesterday on the
subject, expressed satisfaction with
the Cardinals course. 1t was gen.
orally regarded that his recommend
alton would be adopted by the
authorities at Rome, in which event
it appeared to be almost the uni
versal opinion that the knights would
at once receive greataccessions of
strength and the order would as
sumo an Importance which it has
never heretofore possessed.-[S +.

STANTON AT the WAR DEPARTMENT.

Although Mr.. Stanton was by
nature an accessible man, it was
simply impossible for him to give
private audience to 1.-THE Of per-
sons who daily inquired for him.
Even Senators and Representatives
in Congress often had difficulty in
seeing Inn at the times and in the
manner they desired, and frequently
accepted "pot-luck' with the crowd
in the public rcception-room.
Colonel Hardie, n handsome Scotch
looking officer, took charge of this
room early in the morning and, in
the name and by authority of the
Secretary, dispatched the business
of such rs neither needed nor in
sisted upon the personal action of
the Secretary. He also sent in the
names Of such callers as he thought
the Secretary would privately re
ceive and, from time to time, went
in himself to take the Secretary's
demands upon some case of special
difficulty or Importance. AS nearly
rs possible to IL o'clock, the Secre-
tary, who had an almost religious
regard for this daily observance,
came into the room and took station
at the little, high desk near the
bottom, Colonel Hardie or Major
Pelouze being in attendance to as
sist him. He waived everybody
back who approached him, until he
had completed a deliberate scrutiny
of the company and had received
from the officer in attendance
statement, in low voice, of the ex-
ceptionally urgent or meritorious
cases. Then, one after another,
he indicated those whom he wished
to draw near, beginning with the
soldiers, and, after them, calling up
the plainly dressed women, who
looked as if they might be soldiers
kinfolk. If he happened to notice
that a soldier had crutches or was
weak from illness, he would leave
the desk and 60 to him where he
was seated. Officers bearing visi-
BILE tokens of wounds or disability
were also preferred suitors, but with
other gentlemen of the shoulder
strap he was usually curt. Civilians
he treated accordingly as his humor
was affected by their statements or
manner, but there was always a gen.
eral observance Of the underlying
principle that this public reception
was for those who had no other
means Of access to him. 1t was
here that Mr.. Stanton might usual
ly be seen at his best. If case of
unusual gallantry, merit, or suf-
fering were stated, he would COM
ment upon it aloud to the company,
ending with moral, inviting to
patriotism, virture, or fortitude.
On the other hand, if he found
woman suppliant embarrassed by
the publicity of statement and ac-
ton, he would draw her beyond the
desk to the window-recess and hear
her there, or send her to his room
to be heard more leisurely or pri-
vately. Some of us used to think,
while watching the Secretary at
these receptions, that great power
had been lost to the pulpit when he
became lawyer; for he was an adj
mirable preacher and far from
averse to sermonizing.- Century of
March.
